Matt is interested in hyper-distributed, non-geographically exclusive, time shiftable, live performance of dance and choreography and driven to making choreography (and its performance) as integrated into the tapestry of everyday life as any other digital notification, working to erode even those ‘legitimising’ frictions/barriers-to-engagment that only actually serve to exclude certain classes or communities from art.

The animated GIF as (self-contained) contemporary dance performance, that is available to you regardless of where you live, your level of disposable time or income or weather you even feel welcome in a theatre.

During the most recent development there was a daily, global, simultaneous, world premiere of a new dance work, sent via SMS to the audience.
